You want to elaborate on that?

GOG released a Windows client, but no Linux client. My problem is with being treated worse than a Windows user.

In comparison, itch.io has no Windows client and no Linux client (in part because some of the stuff they sell is not software). So I have no problem buying through itch.io.

itch.io does have a client, it even has a Linux version and it's on Flathub:

I'm not OP but I use GOG significantly less ever since I switched to Linux and got a Steam Deck.

Steam has an official Linux client, GOG does not
Steam syncs my savegames between PC and Steam Deck out of the box, GOG does not
Steam setups all the Proton-stuff and I only have to click play, GOG does not

I currently use Heroic but until GOG commits some more resources into their Linux ecosystem I'm just going to use them sparingly.
